If Robbie struggles then everyone will have the opportunity to moan. We’ve made a good start to the campaign and no one can argue with that. He had to sort out a real shit show and I’m delighted with how things are shaping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time he was third in his first full top flight season that's pretty good imo. Not been close to it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in terms of sporting rivalry I want to beat Hibs the most. The rest of the stuff that makes me dislike Celtic and Rangers doesn't belong in football imo. It doesn't belong in society either, but that's another discussion. Fair points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, we have no chance of winning the title. Agreed? No, having seen us come within a whisker of winning the title before, I disagree.

fila Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Would have preferred him gone after last season , but also said if he remained I would be right behind him & the team . Early signs are good , however time for judgement is two fold for me , where we are at Christmas and then at the end of season, which will be hopefully somewhere top 3 and and in a cup final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will I agree with you no doubt I just don’t see Boyce as a lone striker .. great player but not for that role I can’t understand why the big lad doesn’t get a chance he has done nothing wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCW1976 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I want nothing but the best for us. If that’s Robbie, then great. But, way too early for this, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerjambo Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 No goals = bad news. The jury is out on his preferred 3 4 3. We've let Henderson go out on loan, and we're left with 2 strikers, so we'll need plenty goals from midfield and attacking wingers. We will find out exactly where we are after the next 6/7 games.

Aberdeen I felt we should’ve pushed them at 1-0, a second goal would’ve finished them. However that’s just general observations not moaning, we’ve had a good start and the team is looking exciting and should get better as the season goes on, I just think Neilson goes into games with a set plan on subs and formations and there’s times when just playing it as it comes would be better. It's been a decent start. When the fixtures came out i was quite happy to have Celtic at home first game as they were there for the taking and would probably be the best chance to get them. The win gave us the confidence to go through to Paisley and scrape a win there as well. Aberdeen was frustrating as they were also there for the taking. They're not as strong as they think they are and it's probably been the most disappointing result so far this season. I fancied us at Tannadice although the game was of a similar pattern to most Neilson-type games, but three points none-the-less. The Hibs game could've gone either way but i didn't expect to beat them in reality. Not because they are better but just through Neilson's stats against them. Two wins against them and both when they've missed penalties. Was happy to hear the final whistle in all honesty. Still think we need to sort the defence out. Fullbacks playing as centre-halves doesn't cut it for me and a few of the saves Gordon's made have come from exposure from this area/side of the pitch but somehow it seems to be unimportant. Just as well he was there or we wouldn't have collected the same amount of points as we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One up and two off Boyce. Gnando will get us a few goals this season but don't expect double figures from him. This is why i've been saying we're a striker light. If Boyce gets injured or suspended there could be a problem. Edited September 14, 2021 by jambonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. No point having wide players sticking crosses in when no-one is on the end of them. Maybe that's why they seem to want to walk the ball into the net.

I suspect the fact that he is dropping deeper is as a result of the system we are playing and the way he is being deployed and what he's being asked to do by Robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
